Rather than trying again and again to find an answer to this detail, you maybe should tell us *WHAT* you want to do. What are you working on? What is this word search for? It's much easier to find a solution if you know the whole purpose and not only have tiny (and rather vague) information about some details. And maybe we even find a better solutions than yours. This "special chars" thing sounds rather strange to me. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
